GET ready to watch the horrifying moment a couple return home to find a giant serpent thieving their eggs.

The cold-blooded invader slithered down from their spice cabinet and wrapped its jaw around an egg sitting in a bowl on the counter.

Laura Neff and her husband write in the video's YouTube description that their unwanted guest is a Black Racer, commonly referred to as a rat snake.

According to Laura, the snakes are non-venomous, and are known for eating rodents.

Alongside the video, Laura wrote: "It was a run of the mill Sunday afternoon here on our little farmette, until a noise in the kitchen made us look up...at the spice cabinet...where THIS was descending toward a basket of fresh eggs on the counter...!

"It got in through a hole in our laundry room floor, which is now covered by a VERY heavy concrete block and which will soon be permanently plugged."

Laura explained that they called animal control to come and collect the snake - but had to take matters into their own hands as it started to make its way under the fridge.

She added: "Using two brooms, a whole lot of patience, nudging, and encouraging, we finally convinced it that going out the open window was a MUCH better option than slithering away behind the fridge! "
